Reforming Sex by Atina Grossman
Reforming Sex constructs and analyses a remarkable mass movement of doctors and lay people that demanded women's right to abortion and public access to birth control and sex education. Their story sheds light on current controversies about abortion, the role of doctors and the state in controlling women's bodies, and the possibilities for reforming and transforming relations between women and men.
Her interesting study is backed up by primary sources from archives in the Federal Republic and former East Germany, as well as contemporary publications, and she is fully conversant with the existing critical literatureAltogether, this book fits naturally into a now growing library on German medical, social and sexual policy from 1918 to the present. * Michael H.
